TYPO3 Core

How does this work for you in a 7.5 installation?

Composer integration is not complete in 6.2

vidi & media extensions require typo3 6.2, cant install via composer.

This has nothing to do with a composer install. If you download the extensions via TER, the same problem occurs.

It is because the PackageManager in 6.2 uses a composer.json file to extract dependencies in favor of ext_emconf.php files. Since media has no dependencies on the such composer.json file, this information is not used during dependency ordering of the PackageStates.php file.

Question is, whether we should fix this in 6.2 or tell people to move on to 7.6 and not use composer.json for extensions in 6.2

Patch set 1 for branch TYPO3_6-2 of project Packages/TYPO3.CMS has been pushed to the review server.
It is available at https://review.typo3.org/46031

Meanwhile there are updated versions of the extensions, compatible with 7.6. I don't see any reason to change the current composer behaviour in 6.2. IMHO there would be more trouble with such a patch. Therefore I decided to reject this ticket.
